Pool Water Care - Polygroup SUMMER WAVES ST1100 Manuel Du Propriétaire

IMPORTANT! Your filter pump is protected by a thermal switch. The switch senses the temperature of the filter pump. If it gets too hot, the switch will stop the pump from
running until it cools off. It will automatically turn back on when the filter pump has cooled down. This is a safety device to prevent pump damage and prolong service
life. If your pump is automatically turning off, it is because of high pool water temperature and/or low water flow through the pump. If this happens you need to check the
water flow and correct it if needed, as this filter pump uses the water flow for cooling. You may also want to run the pump at night when the temperature is lower.
1. BACKWASH the sand bed when the pressure reading is 1-1.5 bar (14.5 - 21.8 Psi) above the nitial presssure; or, BACK WASH the sand bed at least once TWO weeks.
2. Discard all the sand at the end of the season, wash the pump components, sand tank and 6-port valve thoroughly with freash water before storage. Fill up with new
sand at the beginning of the swimming season.
3. Check and adjust pH and chlorine levels daily using required chemicals. See below Section of "POOL WATER CARE".
4. Check filter pump output daily. If flow is reduced, see below Section of "TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE".
5. Check filter pump, hoses, fitting for leaks. If a leak is found, see below Section of "TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE".
6. Check seams in pool periodically. Minor repairs may be made with the repair patch kit (supplied with pool). Additional patches are available from Polygroup
local pool supply store.
1. The following items are required and readily available from your local pool supply store:
• TEST KIT - Used to check chlorine and pH levels.
• 1" CHLORINE TABLETS - Used to disinfect pool water and help control the growth of algae.
• pH CONTROL CHEMICALS - Used to adjust pH levels Up (Soda Ash) or Down (Acid).
• ALGAECIDES - Used to eliminate algae.
• SUPERCHLORINATOR - Used to destroy combined chlorine, ammonia, nitrogen, and organic compounds.
• LEAF NET with handle - Used to remove leaves, trash, insects, etc. from pool.
• CHLORINE DISPENSER (available in most pool supply store).
2. Use test kit daily to check pH and chlorine levels. Adjust accordingly using the required chemicals.
NOTE: Excessive levels of chlorine or low pH levels will damage pool liner.
3. The pool can be cleaned using a garden hose powered vacuum from Polygroup
4. Using a foot bath near the pool to wash off your feet prior to entering the pool will assist in keeping the pool clean.
5. Well water often presents special problems with water chemistry. If you must use well water, take a sample to
your local pool chemical supplier for analysis before adding ANY chemicals.
6. Refer to the POOL'S USER MANUAL for the capacity of your pool. You will need this information to determine
the amount of chemicals you will need to correct the pool water.
NOTE: It is recommended to use a 5 gallon bucket of water to mix and dissolve your chemicals and then applying directly to the pool water. Follow manufacturer's
label directions on all chemicals.
• Most pool supply stores will test your pool water for free and advise you of what chemicals you need, and the correct amount to use for your pool. You will need to
tell them the pool capacity in gallons.
7. IMPORTANT: We cannot over-stress the importance of proper and adequate daily chemical treatment. Chlorine and pH levels must be properly maintained at all
times. PUMP AND FILTER ALONE WILL NOT PREVENT ALGAE FROM GROWING IN POOL WATER; THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE BY MAINTAINING PROPER
CHLORINE AND pH LEVELS AT ALL TIMES.
• Maintain pH level between 7.3 and 7.8.
• Maintain chlorine level between 1.0 and 1.6 ppm (parts per million).
• Superchlorinate your pool at least every other week.
NOTE:
1. Hot weather/heavy use may require pH and chlorine levels to be maintained on the upper side of the scale and superchlorination of the pool every week.
2. Using a pool cover and/or solar cover will assist in maintaining your pH and chlorine levels by reducing the amount of evaporation from your pool.
CAUTION: Concentrated chlorine levels and low pH levels will damage pool. You must follow the instructions for the pool chemicals you use, as to quantity and
recommended usage. NEVER drop lumps or pellets of chemicals in pool; this may present a hazard to swimmers and/or damage your liner.
